How logicraft.cloud Works

This site runs on a single VPS managed by CloudPanel, a modern server control panel built for PHP applications. CloudPanel provides Nginx with FastCGI cache, PHP-FPM with OPCache, and Let's Encrypt SSL — all configured for maximum throughput with no cPanel bloat or Apache overhead.

Every push to main triggers a GitHub Actions workflow that automates the release:

1. Checks out the repository and runs composer install --no-dev
2. Builds production frontend assets with npm ci && npm run build
3. Connects via SSH to the VPS and pulls to a release directory
4. Runs php artisan down (for 0.5s max)
5. Symlinks the new release and warms the caches

Our case studies are stored as Markdown files with YAML front matter, parsed by spatie/yaml-front-matter. Each file is cached in Laravel's file cache for 1 hour.

Why not MySQL for content? Database queries are the primary bottleneck in typical content systems. By serving content directly from cached files, database latency drops to 0ms for reads.
